The only thing I can read in this article is "Moooom, flow of money bypassing my pockets".
“If these are our next Rockefellers, Carnegies, Fricks, whatever you want to say in terms of our wealthy American elite, then why aren’t they supporting culture?”
Culture is not fixed. They also aren't commissioning operas. What is high culture today will be tomorrow's interesting relic, and what is now dismissed as fringe will become culture.
his point was that the article had a very old world elitist attitude where "art" = "culture" and if one is to be considered cultured and is rich, there is somehow some obligation to purchase art.
it smelled more of, "give me some of that hi-tech money" than any serious exposition about the rift between the tech rich and the art world.
